ROB, I WENT TO THE COMPUTER OVER AND OVER AGAIN TO LOOK FOR A POEM FOR YOU AND I FOUND THIS ONE. LITTLE DID WE KNOW THAT MORNING THAT GOD WOULD CALL YOUR NAME. IN LIFE WE LOVED YOU DEARLY IN DEATH WE DO THE SAME. IT BROKE OUR HEARTS TO LOSE YOU,YOU DID NOT GO ALONE. FOR PART OF US WENT WITH YOU THE DAY GOD CALLED YOU HOME. YOU LEFT US PEACEFUL MEMORIES, YOUR LOVE IS STILL OUR GUIDE. AND THOUGH WE CANNOT SEE YOU.YOU ARE ALWAYS ON OUR SIDE. OUR FAMILY CHAIN IS BROKEN AND NOTHING SEEMS THE SAME. BUT AS GOD CALLS US ONE BY ONE THE CHAIN WILL LINK AGAIN. I MISS YOU ROB, LOVE GRANDMA

My eyes filled up with tears as I heard the news It never occurred to me, how much I could lose I find myself wishing that it wasn't real Every time I think about it, pain is all I can feel Tears fall from my eyes, I can barely see But my heart tells me that he'll always be with me I’m glad he feels no pain now-he lives in a perfect land I can still feel the soft touch on my shoulder of his loving hand I lie in bed and cry at night And I don’t feel any better in the morning light And I will love and miss him forever Until the day we are again together. Together in that perfect place above, Filled with caring, sharing and love But until that day comes- I will wipe my tears away. And hopefully see him again someday....Love always Nino n Mayra...
